## Summary

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis made a guest appearance alongside Yoshiki, leader of Japanese rock band X Japan, for a classical rendition of Korn's hit "Freak on a Leash." The performance took place during the first of two shows at Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, part of a series billed as "Yoshiki Classical in Los Angeles," in which the multi-instrumentalist performs with a full orchestra.

The Thursday show saw Davis deliver a largely restrained vocal that grew more intense as the song progressed, while Yoshiki accompanied on piano before switching to drums for the closing section. Yoshiki was due to play a second show at the same venue the following night.
